Are there any REAL karakoos left from the 80s/90s dont matter where, they should be interviewed and out on you tube.

Id be interested to how to know their travels where they would sleep, wash commication is another cos there were no phones seems very hard back then.

Your forgetting what happened to them.

Music was banned but obviously it was upto people if they wished to follow or not.

Seems like you all have a rose tinted view of what was happening.

How was music banned when albums and songs were made in the 80s and 90s. Chamkilla got what he did due the nature of his songs.

We are NOT some talbian who ban music.

Heres a Karakoo Saheed Singh, singing punjabi songs.

There wasn't a universally-agreed code of conduct signed by all kharkoos back in the day. The application of certain rules and systems largely depended on the particular kharkoo group's own knowledge, environment, and beliefs. Although the central aim was to keep Sikhi at the forefront of all activities and agitate those in control, the minutiae was largely left open-ended and free to interpret depending on the kharkoo group in question. That's why you've some who were dead against any type of music (i.e. what Muslims would term as 'haraam') whilst there were others who were from less stringent schools of thought who were possibly a bit more relaxed in expressing themselves.

As for the singers of that time many had to change their style and songs. Manak saab and Dilshad Akhtar used to come to the UK to record their albums.

I am related to a kharkoo who occasionally appears on Sikh and Sangat Tv.

He was and still is of the type that is against any form of music unless its dharmik.

Suppose it depends on your age group if you was around when these things happened
